Suspected Drug House Hit Again

Owner Facing Additional Charges After Second Raid

KING AND QUEEN — An alleged crack house raided Feb. 26 was raided again Friday night, and once again the owner was arrested, said King and Queen Sheriff Bobby Walton.

About 20 officers helped execute a search warrant on a house and trailer at Mascot belonging to Thomas E. Harris, 45, said the sheriff.

Drug paraphernalia was found in the trailer, and about 10 people were questioned, he said.

Harris ran from the scene into the waiting custody of Deputy John Charboneau, who was about 200 feet away in the woods, said the sheriff.

Harris fell and hurt his mouth and had to have stitches at a hospital, Walton said.

Harris was out on bond for three charges lodged after the Feb. 26 raid: two counts of distribution of crack cocaine and one count of malicious wounding. Two charges were placed Friday night: maintaining a fortified drug house, a felony; and maintaining a common nuisance, a misdemeanor, said the sheriff.

Harris is being held without bond at the Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center.

George E. Stokes, 32, of Glenns, was charged with maintaining a fortified drug house, the sheriff said. An unrelated Middlesex County warrant was served for failing to stop for an officer. Stokes was being held in lieu of $4,500 bond Monday afternoon, said jail classifications officer Hilda Matney.

Two others were picked up on unrelated outstanding warrants, Walton said:

* Darlene Lynn Rilee, also known as Darlene Lynn Horsley, 36, of Mathews, was charged with failing to appear in court in Middlesex. She was released on $1,000 bond, said Matney.

* Cory C. Hill, 33, of Waterview, was picked up for violating terms of probation for a conviction of possession of cocaine. He was held without bond, said Matney.
